[Atrix 4G General] onesikpuppy:
I got the Atrix on Wednesday an am already considering returning it. I love the hardware. As a "phone" it's great, call quality, volume, clarity....all excellent. GPS is spot on perfect.....but I keep having strange problems.

Firstly the screen just randomly stops responding until I hold the power button down/restart. This has happened 5 times since Wednesday and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Secondly I have lost data connection 2 times and had to reboot to get it back, I noticed a few other people have had this problem as well.

Thirdly, tonight I lost all cell signal in a spot where I normally have near full 3G, I waited for about 20 minutes to see if it would come back up....after it didn't I rebooted and was back to full signal.

Lastly.....and this just happened....I got a text message and instead of playing the notification alert it has always used it picked a random mp3 and played the whole thing.

Is the phone possessed or what? Am I the only person who is having these kind of problems?
[Atrix 4G General] done12many2:
I have experienced none of these. I'd take it back.
[Atrix 4G General] fade1d:
Take it back. None of those here either
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvelasquez21:
i have a question for all the experts again...

is there a way to strengthen the 3g or 4g signal? my 3g works good but when i try to use youtube or stream live video it is very very choppy or sometimes does not load.

as for 4g i am inside the coverage area (at least as what sprint has as the coverage area) but my phone will not connect to 4g????

does anyone else have these problems and is it a simple fix? or do i have to live with it
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
Theres a thread you can look for about how to get better 4g in this section if ya can find it. It worked for me.

I don't have 4g but.it works for 3g. Doesn't give a better signal but makes it faster.

[G Tablet General] fab4272:
Hi all,

Before I start, let me state I love my gtab.

Buttttt, when scrolling the desktop or webpages it is no match for the silky smooth interface

as the ipad. I thought the gtab had higher hardware specs?
[G Tablet General] japhule:
Different software. Its also dependent on the website. Flash enabled sites are choppier usually. Xda isn't as smooth as engadget for me either.
[G Tablet General] sixvoltsystem:
Not 100% sure but the gui in ios is accelerated by the gpu Android has yet to enable this might be in Honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] Acturbo:
Also I find if you have flash set to on, as opposed to on demand its much choppier as well. On demand seems to be much smoother.
[G Tablet General] rr5678:
Try the VEGAn-Tab ROM with LauncherPro, and then reconsider those words.
[G Tablet General] whosloosin92:
Launcher pro and fennec web browser seem to be the smoothest for me. It really is just the software. Hopefully honeycomb fixes it.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
What they said. This is really just a few issues with some of the stock software.

iOS browser feels "smooth" because it doesn't re-render mid-scroll. But I find it very annoying that it's so slow when scrolling on complex pages relative to my G Tab. Once you're used to the G Tab it's hard to go back to iOS, in my opinion.

xScope browser in full screen mode is far smoother and better than the iOS browser. No waiting for re-rendering mid-scroll, and it just feels great.

And regarding scrolling in Launcher, like the others said, LauncherPro is smooth as a baby's bottom.
[Nook Color General] jsw31:
I have searched for some time both on the market and several Android forums but I cannot find an answer to this. I'm wondering if it is possible to force landscape orientation to rotate counterclockwise instead of clockwise, for things such as flash player, angry birds, etc. Any ROMs with the option, or instructions on how to change it via adb or terminal would be great.
[Nook Color General] SCWells72:
Did you ever get an answer for this? I have my NC in a case and any apps that require landscape mode are always oriented in toward the spine of the case which seems backwards.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Today, the radio on my stock US HD2 stopped working. It's been not working since this morning. Stock ROM. Never installed non official ROMs.

I've tried rebooting, taking battery/sim out, turning phone/wireless off.. The phone never connects. Wifi still works.

I will try running SD Android later to see if it's a WM issue.

Anybody have things to try? Happen to anybody before?
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I tried booting into SD Android on the HD2 and still no reception. I tried the SIM card in my HTC G1 and it also didn't get reception.

Then I tried the SIM in a non-smart phone (Samsung) and said 'SIM Crash'. Go figure that 2 'smart' phones can't diagnose this problem and I had to use a 'dumb' phone to figure it out.

Seems like I'll have to go to T-Mobile tomorrow and get a new SIM card.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveoreno:
Please excuse me for asking this here but I didn't have enough post to ask it in the original thread. I updated my Kernel with the EB13 camera video lag & sports mode FC fix by mkasick with odin , now can I use the 1 click Root method and not lose this fix and is it going to see my phone because of the custom Kernel? Any help greatly appreciated.

[Xoom General] verusevo:
This may sound completely stupid, but how do you play video on your xoom? I mean there isn't even a dedicated video app. How the hell do you release a tablet and expect it to compete with the I pad without a native video player or support for most video formats? I just transferred a couple of avi files that don't show up anywhere because there's no app to play them.
[Xoom General] keitht:
See: http://www.gigadroid.com/androidtalk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Theres an icon on your homescreen that says gallery. It plays movies as long as they are supported format. Try rockplayer universal it will play avis :)
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.research.drop&feature=search_result

QQplayer works for me too. Multichannel too. i havent tried mkv files yet

edit: it does play MKV files and with subtitles
[Xoom General] verusevo:
Great just what I was afraid of. I have almost a 1TB of movies/videos/TV shows. So my only options are to convert them all or use a non tablet android app to play unsupported files. Thanks for the info though guys.
[Xoom General] keitht:
mkv high profile will not work on Xoom with any current player and I tried them all.
[Xoom General] verusevo:
Ya i just tried a couple of files i had already converted for my moms ipad. a couple were DVDrips and those played pretty much fine using rocklayer. But one was a converted 1080p music video. The music video played fairly well but there was a noticeable difference in the frame rate from the standard def videos.it wasnt at all choppy but it wasnt as fluid as i would have liked. If this is what im going to have to expect from HD video then im definitely not sold on this tab.
[Xoom General] keitht:
It is certainly not what i expected. Hopefully it can be fixed with an update or app.
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
i downloaded dvd catalyst 4 online it was 9.99 (normally $20) and has a preset for motorola xoom

just load any dvd into your computer click go and when its done it will have you connect the xoom and transfer it

then click on the gallery app and there it is. the quality is great too

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63258/kw/video/p/7901,7906

You can use Handbrake, a free video encoding program. I found that redoing h.264 high profile to h.264 main profile(see the link) and dropping motion estimation method to diamond, Subpixel ME & Mode Decision to 0, and avg bitrate to 4000 kbps makes for a lower encode time(20ish minutes for 1 hour on my i7 920 win 7 64bit). Excellent quality too vs original.
[Xoom General] verusevo:
I'm attempting to convert a 720p copy of inception using handbrake right now. (6 hrs estimated time) what a pain in the ass. I set it to the APPLE preset. Which I'm hoping/assuming is what one would use for the ipad. Ill let you guys know how it turns out. If it does work won't be so bad as I can just set a bunch of files to convert in queue while i sleep.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Iceytea posted a handbrake preset for Xoom. I am trying it now and it is going much faster. 2 hour 720p movie took me 1 hour estimated with Apple universal preset and with this one 45 minutes. Can't comment on quality yet as it is still converting.

[Xoom General] Neo3D:
someone on here said that mkv works on RockPlayer on the Xoom
[Xoom General] keitht:
mkv works with stock player as well just have to convert it to baseline. High profile mkv works with nothing on the Xoom. I tried them all.

[Epic 4G General] KateC1:
Hi,

I did the 2.2 update for the Epic through Samsung's website before it was it was warned not to download/update. Now that my phone has the update my proximity sensor is not working at all. When I put my phone up to my ear during a phone call, it does not shut the screen off, it keeps it on where I am able to press keys during calls. It really annoys me and want to know if there is a fix for this or if anyone else is having the same problem?

Thanks,

katie
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
should probably backup your things and reflash, preferable with odin i would think.
[Epic 4G General] budderocks:
You could take it in to the store and see what they can do...they will probably just do a hard reset....I think your best bet is to, like the other poster said, do a fresh install of EB13. Most of the problems with this update were with the update and not with the clean install...good luck!
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
I could probably assume you don't know what odin is and everything so.. maybe someone could post a link to odin and the eb13 tar??

From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
It's just your install, use the full 200MB samsung exe after backing up your data and you should be good to go. That's not a bug of EB13, just the way your phone patched to it.
[Epic 4G General] KateC1:
So I reinstalled it using Odin and it started up fine, acts fine, but the proximity sensor still does not work. Any other ideas?
[Epic 4G General] budderocks:
Sorry you did all of that for nothing :-( Download Z-Device Test from the market. There is a test for the proximity sensor in there. If it is not working in the test, I would say you should go to Sprint and have them fix it...I searched for others with your problem and there were a few (not from updating, you might have had it stop working by coincidence). They all ended up going to sprint and having the screen replaced. Just make sure that if you have a screen protector you remove it so Sprint doesn't try to blame that.

Good luck Katie

P.S. If you are feeling adventurous, you could always Odin back to DI18 and see if the sensor works and the back to EB13 to see if it still works....you could also try installing a ROM on top of EB13 and see if that makes it work (though I don't see why it would) Good Luck

Patrick
[Epic 4G General] KateC1:
Thanks Patrick. I have installed older ROM versions, custom ROMs, and the new update and nothing makes the proximity sensor work. I tried the app you suggested and it shows that the proximity sensor was a green check mark which must mean it works. I do not understand what is going on with it. I have done complete erase on the phone and installed several ROMs with only fail on the sensor. I guess I am going to have to go to Sprint, but I hope that if they have to replace something on the phone I do not have to pay for it. :(

Thanks again
[Epic 4G General] budderocks:
No problem... just tell them it happened after the update and I don't see any reason that they should charge... they seem to be hit or miss about charging sometimes, try a different store if they want to charge... good luck Katie. Let me know how it turned out.

Hello, I've searched up and down this forum and on google for a way to fix the time difference in the incoming messages I'm receiving on my HTC HD2 but had no luck and was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix it on a WP7.

I was having the same problem with a stock Desire Android build but I was able to find an app to solve the problem then. I was also able a cab file for a WinMo 6.5 that would solve the problem, but nothing for the WP7.

I'm using a T-Mo HD2.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir Ice:
For a few months my X10i worked just fine, I would plug it in with the USB cable and then I would transfer the needed files.

1st issue was with charging, I plugged it in and it would not charge, though I tried repeatedly. So I sent it to service, they sent it back and said it was OK, no issue detected.

2nd issues started later and has 2 phases. Either the Windows (7, 64 bits, updated, SE PC Companion installed) would say that device is not recognized, USB has malfunctioned 9 out of 10 tries. Either it would be recognized but the phone would repeatedly present the menu from wich to chose what to do manage conten/charge/install PC Companion.

So I sent it again to service, they replaced the USB cable even though I specifically told me that the issue occurs with othe cables too. The microSD is fine, tested with flash checker. Also have another 16Gb Kingston microSD, same issues, also this microSD is fine.

The first issues have appeared after rooting the phone, but flashing to stock firmware does not seem to help much.

Any ideeas, thoughts?

Thank you.

hello,

i wanted to have two different homescreen setup for my x10 . so i wanted to install the same version of my homescreen app twice but off-course with different name , so that i can switch to other setup when i wish.

so how can we do this? what needs to be changed in the apk file?

I just finished watching all of the Terminator the Sara Coner chronicals series. It was the sh!t . I was so into this show that the end I felt so incomplete. So I was inspired to try and get a theme going. All I could do is take pics from the internet and make it my wallpaper. Lol. That isn't good enough. I had a few ideas with icons, themes and sound effects. Now I'm a nood to this I would not know how to make this. So I was wondering if could be someone's wing man and help me with this and teach me at the same time. I know I'm asking a lot. But I travel a lot too. I'm in hotsprings,AK right now and then to littlerock . After that I believe TX. I think you could make a cool ass ROM out of this. The show is suppose to come back but on syfy channel in April. So maybe we could do this for the fans too. With a cool ass boot animation of the skull or what it looks like when the "T" is booting back up. Just an idea. But I'm asking for any help. I thinly I'm in love with Summer Glau. Lol. She plays the Terminator on the show. Please let me know. Thanks.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Maximumevo:
Thanks , I do appreciate that .I know this seems like its not hitting right but I think of what we can do just on a Terminator theme. Awesome graphics cool ass themes and maybe some recognition. And then spread out from there. But thanks again. Maybe we can start from here and learn.

I also agree, I am waiting to get on my home wireless before the market will allow me to download Barnacle thanks to AT&T market filtering, but I have been running a google tethering app for the time being and it is much easier and faster to use, just not as "clean" I guess.

[Atrix 4G General] mrmyth:
You won't - ATT blocks it. Google search, they have a website to download the .apk. Have to be rooted of course to sideload it.

To get blocked Apps on in market, just turn your phone on without the sim. Download and install all you want without sim.
[Atrix 4G General] stonec11:
but don't you have to have root acces to use Barnacle.
[Atrix 4G General] Noodles5666:
You do in fact need root access for this program and also if you use MarketAccess you can trick the market into thinking you are on T-Mobile and get Barnacle.

To get it to work you need root. Also you will need market enabler..which just tricks the market into thinking your phone runs on another service provider..as att blocks alot of apps

Ahhh, no..... while I can't say I know this for an absolute fact, DG said he's been APN tethering the crap out of his Atrix for the past week and AT&T hasn't "caught on," or nothing. With Barnacle, I'd say it would be even harder to "catch" someone wirelessly tethering - they never caught me or anyone else I know when I was using my Captivate!
